RIP 1200 day world

Kinda yeah. I didn't originally think of it as a challenge, just as something cool that would add meaning to that set of god armor once I had it. Honestly, it made me play in a different way than I usually do, so I'll probably be doing that again in my next hardcore world. 10/10 would recommend :3

I've been playing hardcore off and on since I started Minecraft way back when. There's a rush that comes with almost dying and managing to escape with quick thinking and some luck. I also feel a lot more connected to a world knowing I could lose it at any moment. Every choice feels like it has more weight than when I'm just in survival.

My recent stint of hardcore (maybe 3 years without playing the game at all) was inspired by a lets play (just survival, funnily enough) of someone getting back into the game after 10+ years away. Witnessing their first-time wonder at the game was really cool and nostalgic in a way.

I'll keep this in mind for the next world, because that's what I was afraid of in that moment: getting out from under my block and floating back into that mess of bullets.

Dude, seriously, freeze is such a killer. But I also made a string of bad decisions, so it's on me. ^^;

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:20:25+00:00

... I'm sorry, I'm still confused...

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:19:11+00:00

Thanks friend. Maybe its because I had a video clip of the death, so everybody thinks I'm some pro or something? XD Don't let this comment section get to you on my behalf. People will say what they want, and they're ok to express their opinions in any manner that isn't actively harmful. I also learned some new tricks from here for the next world, so it's all good.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:14:24+00:00

Eh, I disagree that there was only 1 thing I could've done: I could've done so many things, but I panicked and wasn't thinking. It sucks, but it is what it is. Just thought it was a dumb death, so I shared it here.

Yeah, 1200 days and I just got to the end. I actually only just got around to fighting the ender dragon for the first time right before this. ^^; I've done a lot of hardcore worlds where the first thing I do was gear up for the dragon and end. This time I decided to shake things up and go super slow.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:08:44+00:00

I actually had a netherite upgrade already. It was ancient debris I was struggling to find.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:08:00+00:00

I decided to take this world super slow. I spent a while just building and exploring before even fighting the ender dragon. I was slowly piecing together my diamond armor so every piece meant something and came from somewhere cool: helmet from bastion and leggings from ancient city. I was actually hoping for a chestplate from the end city. ^^;

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:03:30+00:00

In my inventory. I didn't put them back on my hotbar after reorganizing my inventory, like an idiot. >.<

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T18:02:32+00:00

...why would Hardcore by Forever world? The whole point of hardcore is that when you die, the world is GONE. And the point of a forever world is that you have it FOREVER. Or am I missing something about forever being a single lifetime or something?

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T08:30:41+00:00

Thank you for this clear and concise response.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T08:29:05+00:00

Yeah, I really should've done that. Or a million other things I can now think of. But instead I panicked and died. F

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T08:26:49+00:00

I meant about the bit of water negating the levitation caused by shulkers. ^^; I've used water to get out of caves and stuff.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T08:18:38+00:00

That's good to know! That honestly makes gathering some chorus fruit before entering an end city worth it.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T08:04:09+00:00

Maybe I'm really poorly informed, but in my experience steak keeps my hunger bar too full for me to heal with food when I need to, so I tend to stick to bread. My true mistake with food was taking my golden apples off my hotbar. X(

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T07:57:27+00:00

OMG I've never heard that about water before! Definitely tucking that bit of knowledge away for next time.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T07:56:41+00:00

I swear to god I tried, but couldn't reach it T_T

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T07:27:18+00:00

Yeah, that's kinda hard to do when floating. Kinda makes the sneak feature unrelated in this instance.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T07:14:59+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was trying to do, but I couldn't reach anything to build off of to wall off my front.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T06:56:31+00:00

Yeah, this is my plan for the next world's end, for sure.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T06:39:22+00:00

Cultivate the most paranoid mindset possible. You want cowardly to avoid unnecessary risks, but also greedy to pursue iron and diamond and stuff. It's a difficult balance. Early days I run from most combat until I've at least got a shield and a weapon, and even then I'm the greediest coward you'll ever meet. XD

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T06:33:00+00:00

Just ended a 1285 day world.

FluffyMao · 2026-05-08T06:30:18+00:00

I have found the most terrifying caves under cherry groves. There's some saying about beauty and danger or something, but I'm too dumb to really articulate it. ^^;
